What firearms did the rest of you get for christmas?
 
I decided it was time to own a .22lr again now that I can actually find the ammo with some reliability. One of my co-workers bought the Colt M4 in .22lr at the last gun show and I was pretty impressed by it. I thought heck I can have the fun of a .22 again AND annoy the "Assault Weapon" Phobia people as well. Thus began the quest for a christmas present. Get the same one as he got or something different? While I was browsing at the local gun store and talking with the employees about how I want them to call me the minute they can order a Sig Sauer P220 in 10mm, I spotted it. A Beretta in .22, mostly polymer, a big rail on top and some more evil rails on the sides and bottom. Totally ambidextrous and easy even easier to take down than my buddies M4 conversion. Loads easier to clean than my old marlin. Thats all she wrote, took it home and tossed a 1-4x Vortex on top. Shot it today and only had to bump the scope 4 clicks to the left. Was knocking steel around for hours and spent no more than $40 in ammo! Yep its a keeper,  though I do intend to take that laughable flash hider off the barrel, remove the threads and put an 11* crown on it.

    22lr is still hard to find here in Oklahoma. When walmart ever gets any in, it's gone within mins from the shelves. I have seen people walk behind the counter in sporting goods to try and find paper work that shows whats coming in the next few days.

    No firearms for me this Christmas, spent too much building my new computer.
    Here's my .22's. The Savage is very accurate for a $150 rifle, spent more on the scope than the rifle. I've had the Browning Challenger II since the 80's, every time we shoot it my best friend wants to buy it. I've told him he can have it when I die.
     
    Not been shooting them much, .22 is still really hard to find here in Washington state.
     
    My next firearm will be a FNX, 40 or 45. I already have 2 9mm's, S&W M&P with Apex trigger upgrades and Springfield XDS.

    I bought my dad a Walther PPX.
     
    I ordered a yet-to-be-released CZ Scorpion Evo 3 S1.

    I didn't get a firearm entirely. Getting a stripped lower for an ar15 though. Want to get it done before I leave for the air force and make more of a pain coming back to get one

    just watch your barrel length, min 16". Atf doesn't mess around, even .1 under and the fine is nutz.

    I have a few .22s. I have a Ruger 10-22 all tricked out just like that with a UTG/leapers scope, green/red laser and a 20 round clip (maybe I got it pre-ban) In the past 3 years, I bet I have shot less than 50 rounds through it. Walmart is always out, Cabellas deals sell out before I can pull the trigger and it's getting pretty hard to find .22 ammo for less than 10 cents a round. I don't care about the zombie apocalypse or whatever else all these people are hoarding for, I just want to shoot stuff! I wish it was like the old days where you could get a box of 500 rounds for just over 20 bucks. This crap is ridiculous!

    With the flash hider off the barrel is still over 18" I have room to play a bit.

    Also I decided since the threads are normal ar 12-28 threads I'll put a protector on them crown the barrel and protector and then if I want I can put a suppressor on it some time down the road.

    Also that salvo has me drooling I would love to get one for clay shooting.

    I got a $300 gift certificate to a local shop.  I am trying to figure out what I want.   I have been jonesing for a Walther P22, but I just haven't made it a point to get it yet.  Paperwork is a pain.
